Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have my trash on a separate partition from my desktop.  If I try to
delete a file from the desktop, I get an error message about moving
files across file systems (which has some issues, related bug 33210)

I guess that there may be situations when the user should be warned
about moving files across file systems (am not sure about that, but am
guessing that there must be a reason for the warning/error). But in this
case I have explicitly moved my trash to a different file system and
don't really want to be stopped or warned about file systems every time
I delete something from my desktop.  Is it possible to distinguish
between the situations that really do merit a warning (whatever they
are) and the situation where I clearly do want to move across file
systems (in this case by the fact that I moved my trash)?
